I am a Stop Motion director, animator and producer of content for film, television and digital platforms. For 20+ years I have collaborated with exceptionally talented artists on many award-winning animated productions.
I'm a partner at Wonder Engine Studios: A full-service animation provider that works in parallel with my company AFI Toronto. In previous years, I worked extensively as a senior director with Cuppa Coffee Studios.
During the first decade of my career I directed long-format animation for Disney, Teletoon, and Nickelodeon. Notable productions include Gemini winner Life's a Zoo, Annie nominee Jojo's Circus, Pulcinella winner Rick & Steve, and Gold Remi winner The Devil's Due.
During the second decade I branched out into original content, music videos, advertising, commercial campaigns and public-service announcements. Clients include Sesame Street, the Electrical Safety Authority, the Government of Canada, and the MMSB whose mandate is to promote recycling policy awareness.
I am a graduate of the Art Institute of Chicago where I received a Master of Fine Arts degree, a Merit Scholarship, and the James Nelson Raymond Fellowship. Prior to that I earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the University of Windsor, and a Board of Governors medal from its School of Visual Arts. I'm married to Mahsa Ghorbankarimi (Creative Director at SpinVFX / Actress). We have a daughter Mina Gorelick. As a family we are avid travellers.
